Corrections Policy
How Korea, Lived handles mistakes, from small edits to serious factual errors.
Getting things right matters more to us than never having to admit a mistake. This page explains how we handle corrections.
Minor edits
Small, non-material fixes — a typo, a punctuation error, a wording clarification that does not change the meaning or accuracy of the article — may be corrected without a public notice. We keep an internal record of every edit; not every one is worth flagging to readers, but every one is logged.
Factual corrections
When we get a fact wrong in a way that matters — an incorrect fare, date, location, name, or a misleading instruction — we correct the article and add a visible notice describing what changed and when, so returning readers can see it. The article’s Updated date reflects the correction.
Serious issues
For an error that affects reader safety or is otherwise serious, or where an image or claim needs to be removed entirely, we treat it as a priority: the affected content is corrected or removed, a visible notice explains what happened, and the article is held back from normal circulation until the issue is resolved.
What we don’t promise
We don’t promise that every single wording tweak generates a public notice — that would make genuinely important corrections harder to notice, not easier. We do promise that any correction affecting the accuracy of what you read will be disclosed.
Telling us about a mistake
If you notice something that looks wrong, we want to know about it.
